Future humans (if we survive) will look back at climate denialists (or who agree it exists but don't want to do anything about it or refuse to believe it's accelerated by CO2 emissions or burning fossil fuels), the same way we look back at the Catholic Church during the inquisition era who stupidly refused to accept a heliocentric world (and imprisoned and sometimes burned at the stake those who did).
Except that today's denialists, and the politicians/governments who enact their policies, are much much stupider, and dangerously so, because 1) we have much more evidence than the Church had, and 2) while there was relatively little harm in believing the Earth was the center of the solar system, there is great harm in believing that burning more fossil fuels doesn't accelerate global warming.
